I've been having horrible issues with constipation.... And I think it was you who recommended using green veggies in my smoothies but anyway... I've tried everything Miralax, milk of mag, prune juice, suppositories (sorry tmi) but nothing helped.. I bought this today from Walgreen's... It has kale,broccoli, spinach just a bunch of stuff and it tastes better than it looks trust me.. And it has Protein as well.. And honey I drank less than half the bottle and it sent me in....

Thanks for the share. I had to get prescription laxative and stool softener. Nothing is working. Ughhhh. Sending my honey to Walgreens asap for that drink.

It doesn't have any ADDED sugar but still has 28g of sugar in it which seems like kind of a lot?

28G per serving is a lot of sugar. Definitely want to watch that. But I am glad that things are finally moving for Mskeisha. Perhaps now we can get more veggies in to keep it going. I llike to sneak mine in a smoothie bbecause it hides the taste. I think I will start mine today. I notice that I don't go everyday now but every other day,which is what I am used too. We shall see.

Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone had a great week. I was cleared by my NUT to start taking Chia seeds. I used to add these to my yogurt before surgery. I am glad to say, I have been regular since starting the Chia seeds with no problem. I have not used Miralax all week. Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

I had my 6 week post op Thursday. 31 pounds gone since surgery. 62 total. I have had a slow recovery. I have just started back on my treadmill. Heartburn has been an issue for me. I was told i can eat pretty much what i want. I dont because i dont feel im ready. I had my first round of venison tonight. So far so good. I stuggle to get all my fluids in. I was never a drinker anyway. Protein intake is not an issue for me either. I find it difficult to take 30 mins to eat. Not a fan of cold food. Constipation is an issue. Usually every 3 days. I tried miralax and i just smeared all the time. I am no longer taking any bp meds but sinc3 coming off those i cant stand up normally. I feel the head rush and vision gets dim. Dr doesnt seem worried but it is bothersome.

As a person that takes bp meds I would be concerned about that. Despite the fact that I lost70 pounds from my highest weight, I still have to take them.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
